Well that was a long break. A long break in which almost absolutely nothing was achieved. I exagerate of course, as the past few weeks have been filled with both major and minor events too numerous for me to do them justice now. The problem is, at the heart of it all my situation hasn't really improved much at all.

I am still unemployed.

And I am still on my student visa.

At least the latter is well on its way to being rectified. I only wish that employers would be willing to take make before I get my visa. I can't blame them, as hiring someone who isn't sure he will be staying in the country is more than a small gamble. But still. Its me!

I'm pretty sure that once I get my bridging visa at least, things will be made marginally easier as i'll at least have that as a proof that my application has gone through and is now lost deep in the bowels of that grotesque, smelly and toad-like creature that we call the Immigration Department. And i'll be getting my PR whenever said grotesque, smelly and toad-like creature decides its done digesting my money, time and paperwork. Presumably it will eject my PR through some manner of sphincter or orifice and I will smile and say "Thank you". I expect to recieve that gloriously steaming dungpile sometime in November at the earliest. Happy times!

In the meantime, i've been spending my days sending out resumes, going for interviews, getting rejection e-mails and slowly being driven insane. Just like old times!

Still, things aren't so bad on other fronts. Me and Naomi have gotten closer than ever over the past few weeks and although I tend to bombard her with text messages she bears it bravely (and chooses to ignore it more often than not haha). She has also changed in a lot of surprising ways since I met her and though I can only guess at the long term effects, I am quite amazed.

No, i'm more than amazed.

I'm excited.
